High-Quality Nursing Combined with Nutritional Intervention Improves Lung Function, Quality of Life, and Compliance of Patients with Lung Cancer After Chemotherapy

Abstract

We investigated the effects of nutritional support combined with high-quality nursing on lung function, quality of life, and compliance of patients with lung cancer after chemotherapy. We enrolled 80 patients with lung cancer admitted to Ankang People’s Hospital between January 2021 and December 2023. The patients in the observation group received scientific nutrition support combined with high-quality nursing, while those in the control group received routine nursing alone. After three months of intervention, we found that patients in the observation group had higher transferrin, PAB, Alb, Hb, CD4+, CD3+, and CD4+/CD8+ levels than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Additionally, patients in the observation group had lower self-rating anxiety scale, self-rating depression scale, pulmonary function index scores, and fewer adverse reactions than those in the control group. Patients in the observation group had higher social function scores, role function scores, physical function scores, cognitive function scores, emotional function scores, and treatment compliance rates than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Scientific nutrition support combined with high-quality nursing for patients with lung cancer during chemotherapy can help improve nutritional status, immunological function, lung function, quality of life, treatment compliance, adverse reactions, and psychological state.
